If you’ve got an hour or so to spare in Geneva I like 2-wheeled things, I can thoroughly recommend the @fimlive @racing_motorcycle_museum! A fantastic selection of GP bikes from champions from Ago and Hailwood, to Biaggi, Rossi and MM93, plus motocross and rally stuff too.

Fantastic day out in the wilds of RAK with the @dubai.drives Dirty Drives crew. Massive thanks to @brumstash and @bradoshi33 for the organization - fun track, bowls, camels, and sunset bbq and beers. Always amazed how capable the old Raptor is in the sand. 14 years old, but drop tire pressures to 15psi and there’s nowhere it won’t go.

Early dawn patrol on the ‘crosser in the desert. 31km, 922m of climbing, max speed 90kph and max heart rate of 160bpm! I am NOT bike fit!!

Number plate game on-point! Was never one for “private plates” but wanted to switch the ‘95 F355 to Classic plates to make the annual registration less hassle. So when I saw Classic 95355 was available, seemed rude not to! Makes it easier to remember when you’re paying for parking 😂
Thanks to @dragonracing88 for hep with the registration and plate swap process.

It’s the Dubai car community’s event of the year - @thegrandpicnic.ae. Another EPIC installment from the @flat.12 crew. 900 cars of every persuasion, sun shine, good mates and a fantastic vibe. I think the completely mental TVR Cerbera Speed12 continuation might be the star of the event for me. Thanks to @bastiroesner and the @altayermotorsferrariuae gang for the hospitality.

Office parking upgrade! Couldn’t bear any of these beauties living in the heat and dust of the garage, so had a bit of a move around on my home office.

Ducati’s Greatest Hits:
- 2001 996R

- 2014 1199 Superleggera

*Chef’s Kiss!*

Beautiful morning out in the desert on the ‘crosser. 17 degrees and surprisingly pretty quiet out there. 50km of blasting dunes… I’m going to feel this tomorrow!

Fun times down at @flat12cafe for @speedbird.cars event this morning. Out in the Integrale for the first time in about 9 months (!!). This car gets so much love! Adore the Alfa 8C that’s for sale but over AED1m is a LOT for a (beautiful) shit handling car!

BEHOLD…. The random new addition to Flash’s Garage…. A 2007 Ford E350 van with quarter of a million miles on the clock! Originally a CIA van, converted by Quigley to 4x4, half-built into a desert coffee van concept, bought by me in COVID lockdown, bodywork rust done twice, and now finally unleashed as a dog/motorbike-hauler camper-thing!

Thanks to @lap57garage for the service on the F355 Challenge. It was in good company. Finally driving with no CELs, but a few leaks to deal with at some point.

Great to see lots of friends and their metal at the @dubai.drives 10 Year Anniversary this morning. The F355CH wasn’t very happy having been woken up after 6 months of hibernation, so running rough. Needs a service ready for the season.
